The choirs of Harper Creek,

Lakeview, Marshall and Olivet high

schools will perform together in a

benefit concert at 7 p.m. Monday,

Oct. 7, at Harper Creek High School

in Battle Creek.

Proceeds from the concert, now in

its 11th year, will go to the Prado

Community Center in Bogota,

Colombia, said Kay Weesner, fes-

tival volunteer at Project Hope

Ministries.

The choirs will spend the school

day being mentored by guest clini-

cian Joel Moore, who is director of

Choral Activities at The University

of Olivet where he directs the

Chamber Singers and Women’s

Chorale.

The choirs will have an opportunity

to refine their individual pieces, as A child at the center proudly shows

some school supplies.

Local choirs plan benefit concert for Colombian community center

Several local high schools choirs will be performing Oct. 7 in a benefit concert

for the Prado Community Center in Colombia.

Children at the center often receive homework help.

well as work on the final combined

song for the evening concert.

The concert is sponsored by Project

Hope Ministries and is made pos-

sible, in part, by a grant from the

Battle Creek Community Foundation.

Tickets may be purchased at the

door.

The Prado Community Center pro-

vides a safe place for children to go

after school.

It currently offers homework assis-

tance, English classes and healthy

food to some of the city’s poorest

children and teens.

Families living within the Prado

community often earn their living by

recycling.

“It is extremely hard manual labor

for 16 hours a day. Many families

live on as little as $8 a day. Their

children are often made fun of and

struggle to fit in at school. The Prado

Community Center gives them a

place to go and a place to belong,”

said Weesner.

Local sponsors for the event

include Heritage Chevrolet, Pizza

Sam’s, Farley Estes Dowdle

Funeral Home, Pampered Chef

Consultant Kay Weesner, attorney

Carol McKenzie, financial advisor

Seth Timmer, Chris Ball of Impact

Legacy Group, Kellogg Community

College and Farmers Insurance agent

Autumn Wygant.

The children of the Prado

Community Center also make jew-

elry to help cover the cost of their

school expenses; the jewelry will be

on sale before and after the concert.
